I would never have to make a decision like that as it would be scoffed up probably before it hit the ground! LOL! My dogs stand right next to me whenever I make food just waiting for something like that to occur!

I would apply "the 10 second rule," also from when we were kids. Which means, as Pam said, I would not be the one getting to the cheese first.

Yup - that's the way it works here too! And if by some remote chance they weren't right there and I could retrieve it - I sure as heck would rinse it off and proceed...........

Well, well, well, now I don't feel so bad!! Thank God for the 10 second rule.

Same as a few others said, the dogs would have it before I got a chance.

We always used the 5 second rule. Now I know it's really 10 seconds! Ahha!
I have 5 more seconds to get to it.
